SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--CounterTack
and Trustwave
today announced the availability of Trustwave Managed Detection and
Response for Endpoints, a managed security service that helps businesses
worldwide, ranging from enterprise organizations to SMBs, pinpoint
potential infiltrations and neutralize advanced endpoint threats.

“Trustwave and CounterTack together are countering the forceful nature
of today’s advanced, targeted threats to deliver a new breed of global
protection for customers”

The integration of CounterTack’s market-leading Endpoint Threat Platform
(ETP) into a cloud-delivered, managed security service from Trustwave
gives security teams unprecedented global breadth of 24/7/365
protection, behavior-based threat intelligence and continuous detection
and response of the most dangerous endpoint threats – through a single
powerful endpoint sensor from CounterTack. CounterTack’s ETP platform is
available as part of the new Trustwave service, providing customers with
a set of technologies and services managed across nine Trustwave global
Advanced Security Operations Centers (ASOCS) – with specialists who hunt
and eradicate threats before they accelerate and impact businesses.

Recognized by industry analysts as the
fastest-growing global MSSP, Trustwave, with its new Managed
Detection and Response for Endpoint service, is anchored by its global
security operations, combined with the Trustwave SpiderLabs® incident
response, ethical hacking and security research team, forming a nearly
unbeatable force on behalf of customers worldwide.

Trustwave Senior Vice President of Product Management C.J. Spallitta
said, “Teaming with CounterTack to deliver an entirely new level of
endpoint protection as part of our Managed Detection and Response for
Endpoints service helps our installed base with more visibility and
control over the mounting threat landscape they face. Integrating the
continuous, behavior-based detection and response capabilities from
CounterTack helps Trustwave reduce risk, promote business resiliency and
challenge attackers, at a time when endpoints are emerging as the most
susceptible tier within the IT stack.”

CounterTack’s ETP platform capabilities provide forensic-class
analytics, layered on top of behavioral, machine learning and binary
analysis techniques within the Trustwave service. As a result, Trustwave
and CounterTack customers can benefit from early detection, preventative
controls, and automated response capabilities, coupled with highly
intelligent correlation capabilities before endpoint threats can fully
execute or escalate in severity.

“Trustwave and CounterTack together are countering the forceful nature
of today’s advanced, targeted threats to deliver a new breed of global
protection for customers,” said Neal Creighton, CEO, CounterTack.
“Chances are, when advanced, unknown threats have started to penetrate
companies using competitive services, and the media starts talking
reporting on resulting data breaches, Trustwave and CounterTack will
have already eliminated that threat and reduced any opportunity for it
to re-emerge across its large customer base.”

Increasingly enterprises are turning to managed security services as
their preferred cybersecurity deployment model. According to the 2016
Security Pressures Report from Trustwave, 86% of cybersecurity
professionals already partner or plan to partner with a managed security
services provider in 2016.

“The combination of endpoint threat detection, analysis at-scale and
predictive analytics facilitates Trustwave’s endpoint service, and their
experts to hunt for threats across the full threat lifecycle to protect
customers,” said Doug Cahill, senior analyst, ESG Global. “CounterTack
has refined its technology and has added multiple detection techniques
to into its sensor architecture that are designed to better protect
endpoints and expedite response for customers. Trustwave’s breadth of
capability and global incident response expertise, paired with
CounterTack’s single-sensor-based endpoint platform demonstrates a
comprehensive, customizable approach to managed services.”
